Chivalry 2 Will Get A Cross-Platform Closed Beta ; Pre-Orders Live

The immersively violent first-person slasher Chivalry 2 will soon be on consoles, and in-fact can now be pre-ordered, which will net you an invitation to the cross-platform closed beta, allowing you to test the game out across the PC, Playstation 4|5 and Xbox One| Series X.

The closed beta is scheduled to run from Friday, April 23 at 10:30am EDT (3:30pm BST) through Monday, April 26 at 10:30pm EDT (3:30am BST). Additional details on what players can expect from the upcoming Chivalry 2 Cross-Play Closed Beta include: 

• Cross-Play Across All Platforms: Cross-Play smashes the boundaries between PC and console, allowing players to face-off on the battlefield together, regardless of platform.
• Size Matters: Experience the chaos of epic medieval battlefields, charge forth to the frontlines of battle, and experience true mass-scale combat supporting up to 64-players designed to capture the intensity and scope of “The Battle of the Bastards” from Game of Thrones.
• Master Blade, Bow, or… Chicken: Your arsenal expands with the new subclass system that provides more variety than ever before. Four base classes expand to 12 subclasses, including the Skirmisher, a melee/ranged hybrid – to the Poleman, a fighter who keeps foes at bay with long-distance melee. 
• The World is Your Weapon: Own the field with a variety of heavy siege engines including Ballistae, Catapults, Trebuchet, Battering Rams, Mantlets, Spike Traps, Ladders and more. Utilize traps to defend, including spikes, bear traps, and more. You can even deal damage with a smorgasbord of “found items” on the battlefield. Try downing a cup of mead and deal a killing blow with the empty chalice or finish off a foe by smashing him in the face with a flaming chicken! 

• New Map – The Siege of Rudhelm: In the first public hands-on of Chivalry 2 since PAX East 2020, experience the return of the fan-favorite Team Objective mode and join attacking or defending teams as 64-players vie for control of a well-fortified castle in a never-before-seen map.
• Many Modes: In addition to Team Objective mode, closed beta participants can also sharpen their skills in a variety of other modes, including Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All. 

Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles. Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era –from clashing swords, to storms of flaming arrows, sprawling castle sieges, and more. Dominate massive battlefields while catapults tear the earth apart as players lay siege to castles, set fire to villages, and slaughter filthy peasants in the return of Team Objective maps.

It will be available globaly on the PC (Epic Games Store), Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X from the 8th of July.
